Neurophysiologic study in idiopathic overactive bladder.

Aim: Idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent, mystifying disorder with a questionable neurogenic background. We aimed to investigate the possible subtle neuropathic affection underlying its pathogenesis.

Methods: A cross-sectional cut off study was carried out on a series of 38 females with idiopathic OAB and 22 healthy matched female volunteers.

Objective: To assess the efficacy of electrosurgical bipolar vessel sealing using the LigaSure system during vaginal hysterectomy in comparison with conventional suture ligation method.

Study Design: 103 patients undergoing vaginal hysterectomy for benign conditions were randomised to either LigaSure or Suture groups. Each group was divided into two subgroups according to the degree of surgical difficulty.
